SunFest: Same rules; small bags

WEST PALM BEACH — Remember those rules about bags for the International Boat Show in March? Repeat for SunFest.

Perhaps 165,000 visitors, or more, are expected to attend the iconic waterfront event April 30-May 4.

At her weekly media briefing Wednesday, the mayor said the same rules will apply that were in place for the boat show:

*Small bags; nothing larger than 12 by-12 inches and six inches deep.
*No coolers. No backpacks.
*Diaper bags will be searched.
*The city prefers clear bags for ease of searching.
*Signs in parking garages will remind people to leave things in their trunks — not in their car interiors, where they might tempt thieves.
